Oh, I see. Yes, after reading the code I confirm your finding: INSTALLDIR should be defined 1) for the code in the relocatable library (only needed if ENABLE_COSTLY_RELOCATABLE is not defined to 0). Its value should be a C string that contains (for a shared library) the installation directory of the shared library; often this will be $(libdir) on Unix excluding Cygwin, or $(bindir) on Windows or Cygwin. 2) for the code that makes use of the relocatable library, that is, that invokes set_program_name. Its value should be a C string that contains the installation directory of the program; often this will be $(bindir). Bruno
